The sum of two positive integers, x and y, is not more than 40. The difference of the two integers is at least 20. Chaneece chooses x as the larger number and uses the inequalities y<=40-x and y<=x-20

Answer:

The value of x lies between 20 and 40 and value of y lies between -20 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

[tex]y\leq 40-x[/tex]....(1)

[tex]y\leq x-20[/tex]...(2)

First we convert inequality equation into equality equation to find the solution of the given system of inequality equation.

Therefore, we can write as

[tex]y=-x+40[/tex]...(3)

[tex]y=x-20[/tex]...(4)

Adding equation (3) and (4) we get

[tex]2y=20[/tex]

[tex]y=10[/tex]

Substitute y=10 in equation (3) we get

[tex]10=40-x[/tex]

[tex]x=40-10=30[/tex]

(30,10) is the intersect point of two equation.

Put x=0 in equation (3)

[tex]y=40[/tex]

Substitute y=0 in equation (3)

[tex]x=40[/tex]

Substitute x=0 in equation (4)

[tex]y=-20[/tex]

Substitute y=0 in equation (4)

[tex]x=20[/tex]

Substitute x=0 and y=40 and in equation (1)

[tex]40\leq 40[/tex]

Hence, the equation is true.Therefore, the shaded region below the line.

Substitute x=0 and y=-20 in equation (2)

[tex]-20\leq -20[/tex]

The equation is true. Hence, the shaded region is below the line.

Hence, the value of x lies between 20 and 40 and value of y lies between -20 and 10.
